A rare opportunity to own a masterfully reimagined six-story Cobble Hill brownstone of extraordinary scale and presence. This impeccably designed residence seamlessly blends timeless 1850s architecture with striking contemporary interiors, executed with the highest level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Behind a classic brownstone façade, complete with a high stoop and oversized windows, the home measures an impressive 23’ wide by 50’ deep on each floor.
Designed for both refined entertaining and everyday comfort, the residence offers multiple living and gathering spaces across several levels. On the parlor floor, a grand foyer with herringbone floors creates a dramatic arrival and opens to an elegant living room with soaring 12-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a fireplace. An impressive formal dining room, framed by a wall of windows, completes this spectacular level.
Below, the garden floor features a stunning designer kitchen with extensive custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a modern dumbwaiter. A sprawling island with integrated seating opens seamlessly to an adjoining living area, where glass doors lead to a private outdoor oasis. This floor also includes an en-suite guest room, ideally positioned near the garden entrance.
The third floor offers two en-suite bedrooms, a lovely home office, a laundry room, and abundant storage. The entire fourth floor is dedicated to a luxurious primary suite, featuring a serene bedroom, a spa-like bath with dual vanities and a large glass-enclosed shower, two expansive walk-in closets with custom built-ins, and a private den.
At the top, an additional skylit oasis awaits: a versatile open flex space with a modern brick-accented second kitchen, full bathroom, rear living room, and a light-filled office with a full wall of windows overlooking a tranquil private patio. The home is further enhanced by a lower-level wellness retreat, complete with a private gym, theater, and a spa-inspired full bathroom with sauna.
Ideally located in Cobble Hill, on the border of Brooklyn Heights and just moments from Brooklyn’s waterfront, this exceptional home is surrounded by top dining and shopping, with multiple schools and cultural institutions also nearby, completing an offering defined by scale, design, and an unmatched setting.
